Baybreasted and Canada Warblers are feeding on insects in our wooded back yard. We also have redstarts, orioles, rosebreasted grosbeak and indigo buntings!  Life is good in Oakwood.

Ornithology - Spring Warblers


 It is the time of the migration of most incredible colorful birds in the world.  May is when warblers make there way from Central America to Canada.  We are lucky to have them migrate through Freeborn County.  Please keep your eyes open for the wonderful feathered creatures.  Here are some websites to view of few of the many kinds of warblers.  It is my favorite week of the year and I get to share this with you!
